Winsnort.com has been major long term contributor to the Snort community since 2002. By default Winsnort.com is the place to visit if you are curious about running a network Intrusion Detection System (IDS) in the Windows (Win) environment (WinIDS).
There have been literally thousands of modifications to the tutorials for the Windows Intrusion Detection System (WinIDS) in the last 13 years. There is support for a multitude of Windows operating systems in either32/64 bit architectures.
Winsnort.com has always been a free service, and will continue to be for as long as possible.
The new Winsnort.com website has been built from scratch. Winsnort.com now has the power to incorporate features, and security it always needed - essentially building out a single web destination for those looking to learn how to install an Intrusion Detection System based on the Microsoft Windows operating system.
Winsnort.com streamlined its navigation and member experience so that you have better access to the on-line tutorials and support message bases. The on-line tutorials now have a fresh new bold look that should make it easier to follow. Regretfully, the old user accounts, and forums never made the migration.
Now Winsnort.com can look forward to exciting new futures.

Note: This version of Pulledpork has had a bush fix installed which allows Pulledpork to run on Windows with no adverse effects, and the official fix should be coming shortly.
Note: In addition of accessing the correct support forum from the list of support forums, there is also a Get Support button located at the top of every tutorial that will transport you to the correct forum for support for that particular tutorial.
